Limp Bizkit split from their record label last month and Fred Durst been directing films since 2007, last an inspirational drama about a girl quarterback conquering pop warner starring Ice Cube, and next rumored to be a “hillbilly Pulp Fiction” starring Paul Walker. Point being, he belongs to the world of film now, so you can look forward to my breathless coverage of everything he does.

Most recently, the pride of Jacksonville hit karaoke night with Nick Swardson and Cedric Yarbrough from Reno 911! Not even the person in charge of hiring GoDaddy girls could dream up a combination that random.

Sources tell TMZ, Durst hit up open karaoke night at Rock & Reilly’s with Nick Swardson and Cedric Yarbrough from “Reno 911″ — and the trio performed a bunch of other songs … like Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.”

Overall, the beatboxed version of “Nookie” ain’t too bad — in fact, we now feel slightly less embarrassed about listening to Limp Bizkit in high school. [TMZ]

I’ve said this before, but as an American, I feel the same way about Limp Bizkit’s popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s as Germans must feel about the holocaust. Even though I was never a party member, I still feel as if I should’ve done more to stop it. They came for the nookie, and I said nothing. They came for the chocolate starfish, the hot dog flavored water. The sickening feeling of complicity lives inside me, the backwards red baseball cap my swastika. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m not at all surprised that someone who listened to Limp Bizkit works for TMZ now.

It started so benignly: three dollar billz y’all, lots of talk about hot dogs. Who doesn’t like that? Three dollar billz y’all just make sense, and everybody loves hot dogs. But I could smell something more sinister rollin’ rollin’ rollin’ (what) in. By the time we came to, they had gotten a hold of our stuff and, yes, break’d it.

As the great philosopher poet Beavis once said, “I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However, what it has in groove it lacks in originality. One can’t help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendancies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called “Alternative Rock”. One is even reminded of Laurie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Limp Dickskit would do well to learn more from…”

“I’ve said this before, but as an American, I feel the same way about Limp Bizkit’s popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s as Germans must feel about the holocaust.”

Horseshit, I reject your premise. The industrial cultural authenticity complex manufactures these sanctimonious backlashes purely in order to sell more records. Limp Bizkit has just as much “artistic integrity” as Bon Iver or whoeverthefuck.

To the modern man, deracinated by faux-racination, Fred Durst straddles the gulf like Rhodes’ Helios, rekindling the green light and whipping us towards the orgiastic future that year-by-year recedes before us only if we let it.

Beat on, Fred. Beat on.
